What size lead lock do i need for pipe the is
1” in diameter? I bought a 1” x 15mm and it
was to small.

How did you measure the diameter? The correct method is to wrap two turns of string around and divide by 2pi, i.e. don't use callipers. Lead loc have an FAQ list and the first one is "What size should I buy?" :

I used a tape measure around the outside of the pipe, it came to 4 inches.

I used a tape measure around the outside of the pipe, it came to 4 inches.

If it was one turn and exactly 4 inches then that's 4.0/pi = 1.27". That's probably 3/4" - 11lb lead pipe, which has an OD of 1.233". Another close size is 3/4" - 9lb, which is 1.152" OD.

There are other sizes with ODs closer to 1 inch, which is what you originally said the OD was. E.g. 1/2" - 9lb has an OD of 1.016".

don"t they now do one that fits 1 lb to 3 lb universal , its alarge unit, sure i"ve seen one some where?

Can you cut a bit off and take it to the merchant, they'd rather that than you keep returning them.

Just buy a 1/2 7,9lb and 3/4 9lb and return what you don’t use

Go for 9 or 11 LB Lead Loc which I thinks 3/4" 22mm copper quite a large one
